Changeable magnifier size.
Declined
It would be great to have a possibility to change size of magnifier. Now magnifier is too small for me.

I like this idea 
Robin, I agree. Its not only too small, but it is too close to the center, so it often hides an important data ( like track, guiding line, or the almost-closest neighborhood of the point). So it should be placed in one of the corners ( preferably left-bottom)
My other idea would be to get rid of the fancy-looking magnifier glass, and just leave the magnified image in some thin frame (2-5 pixel of thickness).
Also the image inside the magnifier could be sourced from the actual_zoom+1 layer, and not just scaled up, pixelated actual_zoom leyer. Of course I understand that could be more CPU-demanding. And it could be configurable somewhere.

I believe that current version of magnifier is usable in all cases. It was enlarged a little and was also removed some labels and other stuff that was previously drawn inside.
Drawing zoomlevel+1 is for sure good idea, but I'm sure it do not worth it. It would increase slowness a lot and mainly on low RAM devices cause unwanted OutOfMemory problems becuase it will be another map layer, even smaller. Magnifier should be tool for a quick help, not some ultra-sophisticated tool.

Hi
I use the Locus Map 2 weeks only, but 5 years before - another program for navigation (non-android). I can compare and say that the small circle window-magnifier is not so useful how just enlarging full map screen in 2-3 times. This approach will be easier for users and in additional, parts of maps will not be hidden by magnifier's frame.

Good day Menion,
Thank you
Yes, it works: "Lock the zoom" + several clicks "Zoom In"
